Rootfs space decreasing?

have you restarted the n900 and see if it's any faster?

Ehhh, I wish it was a specific application that made a big impact, but it wasn't. You sure there's no possible way more installed apps means slower phone? I know, it doesn't make sense, they are just taking up space in the flash memory, and not hogging up the cpu... but there must be a hidden story...
Mine has a problem with responsiveness and there's a thread about it, but that's something that takes time after a reboot to manifest.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

I'll try put in all in baby words...
why does installing more applications 'slow' down a phone?
It can't be helped it's simply logic. Every action has a consequence.
The more apps you install, the device looses more memory/cpu power. By logic the less memory/cpu power your device has, the more it's performance would decrease. It's inevitable.
When it comes to clocking. More volts = more energy. Everything requires energy to move. The more energy you have available, the more it increases the chance of the device being able to move effeciently.
However everything can only hold energy up to a certain point. You have to much energy and you begin to malfunction. If you overclock the device too much and you would damage/destroy it.
In the end it all comes down to logic.

Baby words for you. Slow does not happen for all.
Want test, or just want goo-goo?

I'm sorry, but it doesn't just 'come down to logic'. Have you read the previous comments? According to my logic, the number of installed applications shouldn't have any effect on the responsiveness or load on the cpu. I mean why would they? They are stored elsewhere, not running and eating up cpu performance unless you open them... Doesn't that sound like a reasonable thing to assume?
...well, it hasn't been the case for me...

Even though they aren't doing anything they are still taking up space/memory on the device....
